Oh how I've missed painting! I completed this painting titled, "My Bleeding Heart," this afternoon. This was inspired by a photograph I took this Spring at a local park. I've been wanting to paint it for a long time, and today it was just calling out to me. It's done on pastelbord with soft pastel and pastel pencils, and is 5 by 7.

I am now officially on a break from school. For those of you who don't know, I'm currently in my 3rd year of college and working on a degree in law. I've spent the past two weeks working on final projects and studying for exams. I am so relieved to have that done and finally have some time to paint. I'm going to fit in as much painting as possible in these two weeks, but I'm not going to put any in my Etsy shop. I'm still deciding which paintings that I want to frame and put up in the gallery, so until I decide on that, I'm going to hold on to all my new paintings.

About Me

I describe myself as an overall creative person at heart as well as a bit of a free spirit. I am a self taught artist and quilter and absolutely love both! I’ve been blessed with some amazing opportunities to show my work. Along with my artistic endeavors, I have a bachelor’s degree in legal studies and am currently working on my masters in marriage and family therapy. I have an unquenchable thirst for knowledge when it comes to all aspects of well being, and I love to share what I learn with others.
